Determination of amino acids in apple extracts by high performance liquid chromatography

Summary A rapid and sensitive method for the simultaneous determination of primary amino acids in apple is described. After sample preparation, amino acids were derivatized with o-phthaldialdehyde/2-mercaptoethanol and separated on a reversed phase column with a gradient of phosphate buffer-tetrahydrofuran-methanol as the mobile phase. Detection was carried out with a fluorescence detector at excitation and emission wavelengths of 340 nm and 425 nm respectively. Recovery studies showed good results for all substances (91–109%) (with coefficients of variation ranging, from 0.1 to 9.0%). This method was applied to the monitoring of amino acids during the ripening of apples.

Estimation of critical micelle concentrations of bile acids by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography

The critical micelle concentration (CMC) for bile salts or other surfactants is defined as that solute concentration at which appreciable changes in such phenomena as light scattering, surface tension, or solubilization of other organic molecules occur, these changes indicating appearance of surfactant aggregates. The CMC thus reflects hydrophobic interactions of the surfactant with itself. The self-association of hydrophobic molecules resembles the partition of a solute into the lipophilic phase in reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RPLC): Both processes can be considered as transfers of a molecule from an aqueous to a lipophilic medium. The critical micelle concentration of a particular bile salt, being a measure of its hydrophobic self-association, should therefore be correlated with its Chromatographic mobility since they are fundamentally related phenomena. Experimentally, significant correlations between these quantities are obtained, both for bile salts andn-alky1 sulfonates, and only microgram amounts of sample are required for RPLC measurements. Among three homologous series of bile salt surfactants, CMC values predicted from RPLC measurements agree, within a standard error of 7%, with CMC values determined directly. This suggests the applicability of reversed-phase liquid chromatography to the micro-scale determination of critical micelle concentrations of bile salts,n-alkyl sulfonates, and other homologous series of surfactants.This work was supported in Part by NIH Grants HL-07878 (W.H.E.) and AI-21873 (B.G.B.) and by a Fulbright Senior Fellowship (B.G.B.).

Determination of serum metabolic profiles of bile acids by microcolumn liquid chromatography/laser-induced fluorescence

A method for the determination of individual free and conjugated bile acids in serum using microcolumn liquid chromatography coupled with a laser-induced fluorescence detector is described. Bile acids are separated into free/glycine-conjugate and taurine-conjugate fractions using a Sep-Pak SIL cartridge. The taurine-conjugated bile acid fraction is subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis. Subsequently, free and conjugated bile acids are labeled using 4-(bromomethyl)-7-methoxycoumarin as a fluorogenic reagent, producing stable derivatives that can be excited by the 325 nm line of a He/Cd laser. Prior to their fluorimetric detection, the individual components of a bile acid serum profile are separated by reversed-phase microcolumn liquid chromatography.

Determination of lysinoalanine by high performance liquid chromatography

This work suggests an HPLC method for qualitative and quantitative determination of N^ε(2-amino-2-carboxyethyl)-L -lysine (LAL). LAL was released from total hydrolysates of various proteins of animal origin and derivatized with dansyl chloride. The performance of two different columns, Spherisorb 3S TG and μ-Bondapack C₁₈, was compared; better resolution and quantitative response were obtained with the former. The mobile phase was a mixture of 0.01 M phosphate buffer (pH 7) and acetonitrile. Linear response and quantitative repeatability were tested for both detectors used (UV-Vis set at 254 nm; fluorimetric set at λ_ex(max) = 360 nm and λ_em(max) = 525 nm). For LAL standard the minimum detectable amount was 0.05 ng, whereas for LAL in actual samples the amount was 0.5 ng (40 μg/g of analyzed proteins). Good analytical repeatability was obtained, resulting in CV % of 4.7 and 3.8 for UV and fluorimetric detectors, respectively. LAL recovery was determined using both detectors; the values obtained were 94 % (fluorimetric) and 92 % (UV). Greater noise levels were observed with the fluorimetric detector and its higher sensitivity could not, therefore, be fully utilized. The highest amounts of LAL were found in the casein (2816 μg/g) and cooked albumin (615 μg/g) samples.

The retention behaviour of conjugated bile acids in reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography.

The retention behaviour of conjugated bile acids has been studied in a reversed phase high performance liquid chromatographic (RP-HPLC) system by using the mixture of methanol and aqueous phosphate buffer as the mobile phase. The retentions of the conjugates in RP-HPLC have been found to be mainly controlled by the glycine and taurine groups. The selectivity between five different glycine and taurine conjugated bile acids is a constant in RP-HPLC. This selectivity has been used for peak identification in the practical separation of conjugated bile acids.     

Determination of serum catecholamine metabolites in neuroblastoma by high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection

A method for determining serum catecholamine metabolites such as vanillylmandelic acid (VMA), 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl glycol (MHPG) and homovanillic acid (HVA) in neuroblastoma by using high performance liquid chromatography and electrochemical detector is described. The separation of catecholamine metabolites was performed on a reverse phase column with an eluting system containing citric acid-potassium hydrogen phosphate buffer and methanol as the organic modifier. The experimental results showed that VMA and HVA levels in the serum of neuroblastoma patients were 15-30 times higher than that of the normal control group. The same phenomenon also occurred in patients with stage II neuroblastoma. Serum VMA, MHPG and HVA levels reduced to normal in patients suffering from neuroblastoma after surgery. Serum catecholamine metabolites analysed by using HPLC/ECD is more simple, sensitive and reliable than that by usual urine assay and might be used for the diagnosis of neuroblastoma even in early stage.     

The determination of serum retinol by high performance liquid chromatography

A method for the quantitation of retinol in serum by normal phase high performance liquid chromatography is described. The mobile phase consists of a hexane/diethylether/methanol mixture with spectrophotometric detection. The sample preparation is similar to that described by other authors and involves protein precipitation followed by extraction and direct injection onto the chromatograph. Adequate sensitivity is achieved using 200 μl samples. The internal standard chosen is α-naphthol because of its spectral similarities to retinol and its greater stability than the commonly used retinyl esters. The method has been successfully applied to the clinical evaluation of a number of malabsorption syndromes for which it is preferred to the measurement of total carotenoids.     

Determination of caffeoylquinic acids and flavonoids inCynara scolymus L. by high performance liquid chromatography

Summary The main phenolic compounds in dried extracts fromCynara scolymus (artichoke)—monocaffeoylquinic acids, dicaffeoylquinic acid, and flavonoids–have been separated by high-performance liquid chromatography. By use of a narrow bore C₁₈ column and an acidic mobile phase this HPLC method enabled improved separation within 31 min with significantly reduced solvent consumption compared with other methods. The method was validated to demonstrate its linearity, precision, accuracy, and robustness. Twelve commercial samples were analyzed. Monocaffeoylquinic acids were the most abundant phenolic compounds; the amounts present ranged from 0.48 to 4.24%. The amounts of dicaffeoylquinic acids and flavonoids were smaller—from 0.03 to 0.52%. The method is a good combination of efficiency and economy and should be especially useful for commercial applications.

Analysis of 'ARN' naphthenic acids by high temperature gas chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography

Examination by high temperature GC (HTGC) of the methyl esters of the so-called 'ARN' naphthenic acids from crude oils of North Sea UK, Norwegian Sea and West African oilfields revealed the distributions of resolved 4-8 ring C80 tetra acids and trace amounts of other acids. Whilst all three oils contained apparently the same major acids, the proportions of each differed, possibly reflecting the growth temperatures of the archaebacteria from which the acids are assumed to have originated. The structures of the 4, 5, 7 and 8 ring acids are tentatively assigned by comparison with the known 6 ring acid and related natural products and an HPLC method for the isolation of the individual acids is described. ESI-MS of individual acids isolated by preparative HPLC established the elution order of the 4-8 ring acids on the HPLC and HTGC systems and revealed the presence of previously unreported acids tentatively identified as C81 and C82 7 and 8 ring analogues.
